HAL is currently working with developers Eco World Ballymore on the 2,000-home Embassy Gardens residential development, where two buildings will be linked by an all-glass swimming pool measuring 90 feet long, 19 feet wide, 10 feet deep, and suspended more than 100 feet above street level. This transparent pool will be a standout in the Nine Elms neighborhood, which is also expecting a dramatic new pedestrian bridge across the Thames.

“The sky pool allowed us a creative way of joining the buildings at a higher level while providing a unique experience for the neighborhood and city of London as a whole” says Hal Currey, founder of HAL Architects. The sky pool is expected to open in 2019.
